alectryomancy, n.
Divination using a cock, typically by interpreting patterns in its pecking at grains of corn.



Now a peck, then a peck,
Beak o' rooster dances;
Throne of pearl or a wreck
Shall be my finances?
Paid am I advances?

To a corn, fro a corn,
Shifts the fowl his stances;

Wedding bells or lovelorn,

What's with her my chances?
Have I more romances?

This-a grain, that-a grain,
Cock-a-hoop he prances;
Embark moi la blue-blue train,
Voyage les expanses?
Walk in châteaux France's?

Here a seed, there a seed -- 
Think, bird, ere thy glances;

Name the date my soul's freed,

Hint how it bechances.
Bliss, or pain, enhances?

Come a thrall, go a thrall,

None as you entrances;

Crow to me, crystal ball,

Teach me the nuances
Of alectryomances.
(Do you do séances?)
